Walking Lunges – Exercise of the Week

Walking Lunges – Exercise of the Week

Walking Lunges are a terrific exercise for building leg strength, speed and agility. If you are looking for a basic strength exercise that gets health and fitness results, Walking Lunges are a great choice.

  • The purpose of the Walking Lunge is to stretch the glutes, hamstrings, hip flexors and calves.
  • This exercise is similar to the Overhead Forward Lunge exercise except that we are slowing the action down and walking forward to add in a further dynamic stretch component.
  • Step out with a long stride, striking the heel of your forward foot and extending onto the toes of your back foot.
  • Complete the cycle by bringing your trail leg through and standing upright.
  • View the images and video below to see this exercise in action.

Butt Kicks – Exercise of the Week

Butt Kicks – Exercise of the Week

The Butt-kicks exercise is a dynamic stretching exercise you can use before each of your workouts. Dynamic stretching is used to increase the range of movement, blood and oxygen flow to soft tissues prior to exertion and helps reduce the chances of injury.

  • Butt Kicks are performed just as the name implies – by literally kicking your butt with your foot.
  • Raise your heel as close as possible to your butt, using a fast leg movement on the balls of the feet .
  • Drive the knee up and bring the heel to the underside of the backside and the thigh parallel with the ground
  • Perform this exercise whilst slowly jogging forward but concentrate on moving your legs as fast as possible without increasing the speed your moving forward with.
  • Alternate legs until you have jogged 15-20m and then turn around and repeat the exercise until you are back at the starting position
